Designing for
humans
in the age of AI

About me

I've always been the person asking "but why does it work like that?"

I started in law school, building critical thinking and strategy muscles - but I was craving something more creative and human-centered. That pull led me into UX. After working at a cybersecurity startup, I deepened my craft with a Master's in HCI, where I found the intersection of design, empathy, and systems thinking.

Now I'm intrigued by AI-powered and enterprise products - spaces where clarity and trust are must-haves.
